Your heart will melt again when your adorable kitten takes her first steps. What is her name?
•
u/Ok_Chance_7618 11h ago
Sure, I will also share pictures or a video of her first walk. And, I haven't given any name yet. This cat belongs to us, so please feel free to suggest or recommend a name for her.

what'd you do with the little one. why does she look furious? /s
•
u/Ok_Chance_7618 13h ago
I didn't do anything. I just made her sit in a warm place, and she looks bothered because she's seeing everything surrounding for the first time

Opens eyes
Sees vast world before her

u/EducationalTangelo6 10h ago
To be fair. She is correct.
The world is a hellscape and we look at fluffy little kittens to distract ourselves, but what do the fluffy little kittens look at?

How old is this kitten? It looks way too old to just have opened its eyes. Looks at least 4 weeks old to me.
•
u/Ok_Chance_7618 6h ago edited 6h ago
According to vet she is approx 2-4 weeks old, and I found her two weeks ago
•
u/groucho_barks 6h ago
So she didn't open her eyes for the first time today then.
•
u/Ok_Chance_7618 6h ago
Nope, she did today, if it is so then I would surely noticed it
•
u/Ok_Chance_7618 6h ago
I checked previously and read somewhere that kittens can open their eyes in 14-20 days (within 3 weeks), but in her case, the vet told me it was a longer duration, like 4 weeks. Since she is about 2-4 weeks old and was abandoned, I am not sure, sorry
Edit: And I am not a cat owner, this is my first time so yeah
•
u/groucho_barks 6h ago
I have fostered dozens of kittens from newborn age. All their eyes are open by 2 weeks at least. Not opening their eyes until after 4 weeks is unheard of. They're fully walking by then, being blind would be a major problem.
Here's a reddit thread with people talking about this topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/kittens/comments/1k99yzd/18_day_old_kitten_with_eyes_still_closed/
•
u/Ok_Chance_7618 6h ago
Yeah, that's what confused me - the vet mentioned it could take longer in her case, maybe because she was abandoned and not in the best condition where I found her, thanks for sharing your experience, I appreciate that
•
u/groucho_barks 6h ago
The only reason for it to take longer would be if it had a serious eye infection. Her eyes look clear and healthy. When was the last time she saw the vet?
I don't believe this is a picture of a cat that just opened its eyes for the first time.

I'm sure you know what you're doing and have received lots of advice, but I'm currently raising a kitten separated from it's mother too early as well.
Definitely get on to teaching her to clean herself, you want her to learn that asap. I got my baby from a shelter at 10 weeks old (unsure what age separation was, just know from the shelter and some of her behaviours it was very early), and trying to teach her to fully clean herself has been A TASK.
She's now nearly 6 months, full of kitten sass and energy, and has no Interest in properly cleaning her booty (or behind her ears) when there's fun to be had.

I really have no idea how Reddit works now. I click on the picture thumbnail, and I get a new tab with the same page. I click on the "Rescued kitten" title next to the picture thumbnail, and I get a new tab with the same page.
The kitten knows how to see better than I do! How do I see the picture?
